We Are TR

Bigger than it has ever been, the Very Merry Market is THIS Saturday and you don’t want to miss it.

We chatted with Maranda and Jess about all the vendors (more than one hundred!) and the food trucks. (Noodle Lady, anyone?)

Jess shares local gift ideas in all sorts of categories. Lacey chimes in with some pro shopping tips. Maranda tells us how to keep parking simple. Brandon talks about the sensory experience with all the fabulous smells - kettle corn for the win!

Plus, we decided the market needs an official pet mascot and we should name it Trailblazer.

But you’ll have to listen to this episode to find out what animal we think it should be!

Tabitha and David perform as the Foreign Landers. They're married and their path to one another is Hallmark movie cute. David grew up in the Upstate, loving Celtic music. Tabitha grew up in Ireland, loving bluegrass. Eventually they found one another and their mutual musical talents and loves merged into what they now perform - a folk and bluegrass combo with the guitar and the mandolin that is unique and lovely.

 

Drawn to TR from the name, they have found it a restful and inspiring home base. They've played at Music in the Woods and other local venues and recently they released their first official full album - Travelers Rest. (With art featuring our own Paris Mountain.)

We Are TR was lucky enough to get out own porch concert and we think you’ll love their sound and this latest podcast episode!

The time is now to think about Christmas card photos and planning holiday parties.

Good thing Focus Photography and Events can handle both!

Enjoy this funny podcast where we get easily distracted and share a lot of great stories together - from elf on the shelf to pickle spears to Avon!

We think you’ll love Melissa!

Say hello to Jess Teruel - we think you’re gong to love her!

Jess is funny and outgoing, a people person and a loud laugher, in the best of ways. She’s the star of The Jess Teruel Show and recently Brandon was a guest on her show!

You can see her videos on the Travelers Rest Here YouTube channel.

Jess is great at promoting small businesses, at connecting folks, at spreading joy and at making us all laugh!

Enjoy this episode of the We Are TR podcast!

White Rabbit Fine Art Gallery hosts a handful of talented artists and we had a chance to feature two on our podcast! Hear about the gallery. How it got its start and what it’s up to now.

She says she always has a book in her hand and she’s naturally empathetic.

Rachel Strivelli is a life coach, a dream interpreter and a solidly interesting human.

We think you’ll love getting to know her better in our most recent podcast.

Can one family do it all?

Well, no - but this family gives it a pretty impressive try!

Nic and Suz Ruby tell a fascinating (and fun) story of their lives - living in Canada and Texas and more, starting various businesses and now settling down in TR -where they have many roots and a rich community.

The Rubys currently own three businesses - Bernedoodle.do, Travelers rest Yoga and a home remodeling business. Plus - they have four daughters!

You’ll love this conversation!

Greg Graf is the Director of Choral Activities at North Greenville University. He’s also a talented, smart and funny guy who we think you’ll find very entertaining! Starting next month, he’ll also be heading up a new community-based choir - the North Greenville Choral Arts Society! Auditions have been taking place all summer - but there’s still time to find out more!

Get to know the team at Spa North.

Learn along with us - because we had no idea about Botox and injections until this conversation.

Plus - we both received facials so we’re kind of experts now.

She’s a serial entrepreneur and TR is better for what she brings to the table. (Literally. That table being @topsoil )
